    Yeah, I ordered the 500g SCREENPLAY PRO HD and also the 1tb Gigabit Ethernet drive, both are decent, if I had one complaint about each it would be that there is no usb port for connecting to PC for quicker transfer and also the remote control for the media player is pretty awful, its is very slow to react and when it does work it can be over sensitive.

    Also I got no instructions with ether device, sure for that money I wouldnt give out to much.

    My Screenplay arrived today, it has two USB ports..

    Sorry, my mistake, when I said, if I had one complaint about each, I meant the lack of the USB port on the 1tb eternet drive and the remote issue on the screenplay.

    I've even managed to get the screenplay working over wireless network using a standard belkin wireless USB adaptor. I'm delighted with both items to be honest

    Sorry, but which one are you referring to that has the usb port, it is the ethernet Hard disk I an referring to, and not the Screenplay. It does have one USB port on it, but this is for connecting another drive or USB stick to, notto connect to PC for data transfer.

    Yes, the NAS drive. Sorry, I just assumed it would connect, haven't tried it.

    Thanks for that. I haven't a clue about this sort of thing so maybe you could tell me how I would go about this and how much it would cost? Thanks.

    Doubt any of them are refurbished to be honest, I'm guessing they are selling off new stock and call it refurbished not to upset the retailers they supply.

    I ordered the ScreenPlay Plus from Iomega and can confirm they are definitely refurbished.

    Mine arrived with a old broken remote containing leaking batteries. As the remote is necessary for TV playback, at the moment all I have is a 930GB external hard drive!!

    Navigating Iomega's labyrinthine online customer support is proving frustrating so far.

    The two drives I received, the 500gb media player and the 1gb NAS drive both look brand new, I even had to install the battery into the remote.

    But you might not even need it, check yours first. (not sure how, haven't used mine yet...)

    This doesnt play DTS, MKV or WMV which is a massive downside

    very annoying alright, however some of the newer HD TVs can process the MKV files if you plug the hard drive in via USB rather than hdmi or scart!! so now ive the best of both worlds!!

    Anybody else having a problem ordering these today I have tried numerous times to buy and it keeps coming back to check my card number , telephone ,email etc , Rang visa and they said no payment had been presented to them today ,
    Had one delivered yesterday and that order went through no bother last week , Customer service seems to be non existing :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 241 ✭✭knipper


    I ordered four of these today for family and myself works out under 45 each after using the code and free delivery.
    Seemed to go through had a problem when the confirmation page never loaded so used the back arrow and it came up that my order had registered.
    Just hope they fulfill my order now. When I log in it has my order registered but I got no order confirmation to my email.
    Fingers crossed!
